What do you think of Trump's first 100 days in office?

President Donald Trump is approaching his first 100 days in office, and people in Clarksville appear to be divided on how well he is doing.

The Leaf-Chronicle asked people to grade Trump on his performance for his first 100 days, which ends April 29, explain the grade, and offer what they're looking for in the rest of his term. The majority of people gave him below a 'B' for his foreign policy and general attitude toward opposition, some gave him high marks for his commitment to increasing jobs.

What are your thoughts? Join the conversation, and tell us what grade you'd give President Trump for his first 100 days in office and why @Leaf-Chronicle.

‘B’ for taking initiative

Jones’ father is unemployed and looking for full-time work. Jones said Trump is doing well so far, and he is looking forward to him increasing jobs in the country.

“He is taking that initiative to do things; to change things. Maybe he’s stepped on a few people’s toes, but he’s not just sitting back. … He’s actually being a president,” Jones said.

Gonzalez is Mexican and Puerto Rican and doesn’t like Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric, which has targeted Mexican immigrants, however, she lived and worked in Mexico and knows how dangerous it can be.

“Mexico has a wall at its south border to keep other countries out from them, but is not happy that America wants to build a wall to keep them out,” Gonzalez said. "I'm just so conflicted."

Larry Rayford Jr., Pastor

‘D’ for presidential demeanor

Rayford is skeptical of Donald Trump’s character and how his attitude is affecting the country.

“Through these times, the economics, the education, social development, being organized and being unified, there’s been no dignity, no integrity,” Rayford said.

Deadra isn't the only one giving Trump low grades for his foreign policy. She's concerned about Trump’s decision to bomb Syria; a move that President Obama stayed away from over concerns of pulling the U.S. into unnecessary foreign conflict.

She’s also concerned that Trump isn’t listening to the concerns of other Americans and how his decisions can affect others. Johnson is a diabetic and is worried the president will negatively impact medical access and social welfare programs for others.

“I want him to give to the people who need help and listen to what the people want, and not just what he wants,” Johnson said.
